CiSSOiD is the leader in high-temperature semiconductors, delivering integrated circuits for power management,
power conversion and signal conditioning. CiSSOiD active components provide best-in-class reliability that
outperform traditional components and silicon technologies; they enable energy, weight and cost savings in
lighter, cooling-free and more compact electronic systems.
cIssoId provides high reliability electronic components guaranteed from -55°c to +225°c, and
commonly used outside that range, from cryogenic lows to upper extremes. these temperature
capabilities translate into outstanding lifetime expectancy, as accelerated aging can be carried out at
a much higher temperature than the normal operating temperature of the systems. such aging tests
are just not possible with traditional semiconductor products as most of them cannot operate reliably
above 125°c. With cIssoId products, mission-critical systems and high-reliability electronics can now
effectively achieve lifetime in the order of hundreds of thousand hours of operation at 125°c, which
hits the most recent reliability requirements coming from leading avionic and aerospace players.
cIssoId products address a wide spectrum of aeronautic applications from motor drives (including
applications like electrohydrostatic and electromechanical actuators, electric brakes, oil & fuel pumps,
VsV control…), to power distribution and power converters, sensor signal conditioning and energyharvesting devices. cIssoId already supplies leaders in aeronautic and aerospace markets such as
sAFRAn and nAsA.

Mockel
nanocyl
Control of the precision since more than 50 years!
Mockel has been the reliable partner in aeronautics and space.
nanocyl Sa is the global leader in carbon nanotube production and offers complete carbon nanotube
solutions for high performance composite materials.
Mockel is a dynamic company in which each colleague is specialized in manufacturing high-precision
mechanical components.
Integrating carbon nanotubes (cnts) inside composite materials can help you produce high performance
parts and components that are stronger, lighter and multifunctional.
cnts confer higher damage tolerance to composite parts, and improve their overall mechanical
properties, resulting in final materials that have longer life cycles, higher reliability, and lower maintenance
cycles. carbon nanotubes (cnts) are among the most advanced toughening agents when used in our
EPocyl™ formulations. these technologies help provide enhanced durability and crack propagation
resistance—without the drawbacks of conventional solutions. Also, where delamination resistance and
crack propagation resistance are dimensioning factors, integrating EPocyl™ in composite designs can
reduce the overall weight and simultaneously increase performance.
cnts also impart electrical conductivity to composite materials, helping to generate multifunctional
parts and components that have less weight and unparalleled performance. dedicated EPocyl™ products
greatly improve the electrical conductivity of epoxy formulations. the adjustable level of conductivity,
combined with the preservation of the intrinsic matrix properties without changes in density, make this
solution highly versatile and superior to conventional fillers for high conductivity materials.
nanocyl offers three ranges of cnt products that complement industrial process requirements while
bringing new performance levels to composite materials :
• EPOCYL™ : Epoxy resin systems for structural conductivity, strength and durability, and weight
reduction.
• PREGCYL™ : New range of prepreg formulations for reinforcement materials.
• SIZCYL™ : New generation of patented sizing agents containing carbon nanotubes. Efficient, costeffective solution for infusion and RtM composite manufacturing.
nanocyl s.A participates to a project in the frame of the third calls of the pole skyWin. the project is called
Ics that stances for Intelligent cooling system and 10 partners are working to achieve different goals in heat
management, scavenge management and supply management. nanocyl s.A works especially in this field
on the integration of cnt in Aluminum in order to increase the thermal and mechanical properties of an
oil-air exchanger used in the airplane motors.
We have the necessary production machines, the technical know-how and the experience to produce
high precision parts. no matter if small or large parts, simple or complex components, series of 5 or
10000 parts, we translate your ideas into a perfect technique. All our parts are turned and milled with
the highest degree of accuracy on up to date machines with numerical controls. We control your pieces

provide flexible and adapted solutions to its client’s requirements.
Micro-lubrication advantages:
• Controlling the volume of lubricant, and reducing consumption by 50 to 90%.
• Reducing the volume of products to be recycled, less storage, less handling.
• Reducing costs for metalworking (tools, products).
• Better working conditions: improved health and safety. Greater respect for the environment.
• Use of a lubricant that is always fresh, and thus always has optimal characteristics.
• Increased machining performance, possibility of increased speeds.
• Improved surface condition of machined components.
• Reduction of temperature rise due to friction.
• Increased tool life, since the lubricant is consumed during operations and is always fresh.
• Dry swarf: no spinning required and has added value.
• Possibility of using a soluble lubricant (better tool cooling).
• Perfect visibility during machining.
• No formation of oil mist in the workplace.
• Elimination of problems of bacterial and fungal.
• Particularly adapted and interesting for machining in open table.

PReCISE
Already renowned for its excellence in teaching, the University of Namur
(UNamur) is increasingly recognized for the quality of its research. Many research
units, from within six faculties, gather academic, scientific, administrative
and technical staff, all sharing a common passion for research. The University
of Namur belong to and partake in several, often interdisciplinary, research
networks at the local, regional, federal, european, and international level.
With units specialized in materials (PMR and CES), modeling and optimization
(Numerical Optimization Unit), space dynamics (naXys), as well as software
engineering (PReCISE), the expertise gathered by the University of Namur
covers a large part of the Skywin strategic axes.
Namur Center for Complex Systems (naXys)
From the space debris to the whole universe, in the solar and extrasolar
systems, the center naXys of UNamur is renowned for its numerical and
analytical approaches of space dynamics.
The center naXYs (Namur Complex Systems) has a strong research component
in orbital motions, space geodesy and physical cosmology. The researchers
are partners of several space missions (BepiColombo, Euclid, Juice, Cheops)
where their theoretical approaches are appreciated in the mission analysis and
preparation phases; they contribute to the modeling of the dynamical problems
and observables, as well as to the building and refining of suitable numerical
software and tools (frequency analysis, efficient algorithms, statistical forecasts,
chaos detection, stability criteria).
Laboratory of Chemistry and Electrochemistry of Surfaces (CES)
Research objectives of the CES are the design and elaboration of surface
and interfacial materials (thin and ultra-thin organic and inorganic
films on metal, oxide and polymer substrates) by chemistry processes
(electrochemistry, self-assembly, sol-gel film deposition…) The goal is to
obtain structured surface materials with new and/or improved properties
resorting to the bottom-up approach which depends on the control of
processes and interactions at the molecular level.
Molecular self-assembly on active metals
The objectives are to chemically graft organic mono- or multilayers on various
substrates - noble metal (Au, Ag, Pt…) and (re)active metals (Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Ti,
Ta…) - by bifunctional molecular connectors (X-spacer-Y) -X being a group (-SH,
-SeH, -S-S-, -SiR3, -PO(OH)2…) selected to preferentially react with the surface
substrate. The group -Y is chosen to impart either specific end-properties to the
modified substrate (lubrication, anti-wear, corrosion resistance, anti-fouling,
controlled wetting…) and/or (re)activity for additional surface processes
(chemical anchoring and/or induced growth of one or more additional layers).
Others
Additional topics are related to carbon nanotubes functionalisation for
composites elaboration (polymers/CNTs, metal or metal oxides/CNTs), surface
modification for biomaterials applications, electrodeposition in ionic liquids…
Numerical Optimization Unit
In many industrial and research projects, one attempts to improve a
system by modifying its decision variables subject to constraints: this is
optimization.
The research group focusses on the numerical solution of such problems, that is
the effective calculation of the best values for the decision variables.
We focus in particular on nonconvex and large scale instances. Both theoretical
questions, such as design and convergence properties of the algorithms, and
associated software issues are studied.
The PReCISE research center is dedicated to all areas of software
engineering, from requirement engineering to testing, using modeling
techniques to reason and design complex software systems both from
functional and data-oriented perspectives.
Quality and Measurement
Assessing software quality through quantitative and reliable information
has always been a major concern of software engineering. However, as the
field evolved, software has become a complex product involving interrelated
models with different abstraction levels targeting different stakeholders. During
the past few years, the PReCISE center has developed innovative techniques,
methodologies and tools dedicated to the quality modeling of complex
software systems. Relying on software measurement and taking into account
the complex relationships between software products (from requirements and
design documents to tests and documentation), these techniques offer a more
efficient understanding of software quality that benefits to all stakeholders
(from customers to developers).
Research Center in Physics of Matter and Radiation (PMR)
Model-based Engineering and Quality Assurance for Variability-Intensive
Systems
For more than 10 years, the PReCISE center has developed techniques to
specify, analyze, verify and test variability-intensive systems, a large class of
systems regrouping software product lines and highly configurable software
challenging current engineering techniques by the combinatorial explosion
such configurability induces. Efficient quality assurance techniques and
formal definition of variability-aware domain–specific languages are the
keys to such challenges.
